Re:  Convert a node-set to a string
David,

Try this:

<xsl:template match="Item">
  <Length>
    <xsl:value-of select="ext:someExtensionFunction(string(.))"/>
  </Length>
</xsl:template>

Cheers,
Wendell

<Length><xsl:value-of select="$len"/></Length> </xsl:template>

The problem I think I am having is that my extension function expects
a string, but I am passing it a node-set.  I want to convert the
node-set to a string rather than changing the extension function to
accept a node-set as a parameter.  Is this possible?
